In this part Julia became a victim of her own feelings. Her passion to Gosselyn was reason of her sufferings. More of this, as her director Jimmie Langton said, this situation wasn’t good for her career. Jimmie was sure that Julia could become a world theater star, and Michael was an impediment for her. At the end of this part Jimmie tried to solve this problem. He advised his American partner to sign a contract with Michael, though Gosselyn wasn’t more than a mediocre actor. Of course Jimmie didn’t say truth about his role in this history to Julia.
Julia’s sweetheart, Michael, showed himself as an old-fashioned gentleman. He was handsome, polite, but rather selfish and stupid. Even the idea was opening of his own theater was given to him by Julia. Despite the fact, that Michael asked Julia to marry him, he didn’t really love her, she was just convenient for him. And when he had an opportunity to earn some money far away from Julia, he agreed without thinking, though that was painful for her.
